1547.0. "New Software Additions" by MTWAIN::MACDONALD (WA1OMM 7.093/145.05/223.58 AX.25) Sun Jul 17 1988 21:06

    I've uploaded ORBITS.ARC and WHAP.ARC to PAULY"AMIGA"::
    
    ORBITS.ARC is a slick satellite tracking program, originally written
    to track amateur radio satellites like the recently launched OSCAR
    13.
    
    WHAP.ARC is Jim Stevens TapCIS-like program for the Amiga. It
    completely automates your connection to Compuserve. Its also a fine
    example of how all Amiga programs should be written!
    
    Paul
    
    And, please, download after normal working hours. Thanks.

1547.1	Orbits doesn't unpack	NAC::PLOUFF	Beautiful downtown Littleton	`Mon Jul 18 1988 18:11`	8
	Orbits.ARC fails the CRC check for both member files. Extraction procedure: SPOOL COPY PAULY"AMIGA"::ORBITS.ARC [] CVTARC U ORBITS.ARC ARC -X ORBITS on a VAX. Help?!
1547.2	CRC Error	PUERTO::ALVAREZ	Miguel,from sunny Puerto Rico	`Tue Jul 19 1988 10:05`	3
	I have the same problem. Miguel

	Guys, transfer the file to your Amiga. Then deARC it.
1547.4	New Version of WHAP!	MTWAIN::MACDONALD	WA1OMM 7.093/145.05/223.58 AX.25	`Tue Jul 19 1988 18:20`	5
	WHAP! V1.2D is now available. It'll be posted sometime tonight. You must delete the PARAMS.WHAP file (or is it the WHAP.PARAMS file) from your WHAP directory before using the new version. It adds a SUFFIX variable for autodialing modems like the DF224 (which uses a "!" instead of a ^M). There are also a number of minor bug fixes.
1547.5	ORBITS still doesn't fly	NAC::PLOUFF	Beautiful downtown Littleton	`Tue Jul 19 1988 23:11`	14
	re .3 > Guys, transfer the file to your Amiga. Then deARC it. OK, I transferred ORBITS.ARC on this path: PAULY:: --> NAC:: --> VAXmate --> Amiga ARC didn't like the file in any of the last three machines, whether or not I used CVTARC on my local VAX to fix the file format. This procedure has worked well in transferring files such as the Fish disks on MVCAD3::. Suggestions, please? Wes

	Well, has anyone successfully downloaded it, deARCed it, and run it?
